Visiting your loved one

Our Chapels of Rest

When we’ve taken your loved one into our care, you have the option to visit them in our chapels of rest.

Alternatively we will happily arrange to bring your loved one home to be with you.

This decision is a very personal one, and this is an area where it is difficult for us to advise you. What we will say is that over the years, we’ve seen many people visit the chapels of rest, and even though some have found it upsetting, most take a lot of comfort in seeing their loved one at rest – and are grateful for the opportunity to see them one final time.

Visiting the deceased is completely optional – you will not be pressured in any way by our team to do so.

You’re welcome to personalise the chapel of rest by displaying photographs of your loved or something that was special to them.

Once we have advised you that everything is ready in the chapel you are welcome to visit your loved one at any time during our normal opening hours. Alternatively please call 01295 265424 to arrange a convenient appointment.
